Looking back at the 2003 season, one of the defining moments of that year came in Week 1 following the Patriots blowout loss to the Bills in Week 1.
For anyone who remembers, that season started with the surprising release of former safety Lawyer Milloy, who refused to take a pay cut to remain in New England. What made matters worse is it happened just four days before the opener, with a trip to Buffalo on tap to face the Bills and former quarterback, Drew Bledsoe, who was traded following Brady’s championship run two seasons earlier.
But to throw salt in the wound, Milloy shockingly landed with the Bills ahead of the game, which certainly stunned everyone here in New England.
